2004 GMC Envoy Towing Specs
by Justin Cupler
The towing capacity of a vehicle is a careful calculation. There are many factors that affect the towing capacity of the vehicle, with the engine, transmission, suspension, chassis and frame strength the main factors. The 2004 GMC Envoy, like all vehicles, has a standard-towing and a maximum-towing capacity. The standard capacity is what the truck can handle consistently, whereas the maximum capacity is the most the vehicle should ever tow and should not be done on a consistent basis.
SLE
The SLE trim line of the GMC Envoy has a standard towing capacity of 5,300 lb. and a maximum of 6,300 lb., when equipped with two-wheel drive. The four-wheel-drive model drops to a standard capacity of 5,100 lb. and a maximum capacity of 6,100 lb.
XL SLE
The XL SLE version of the 2004 Envoy has a lower standard towing than the SLE. The XL SLE can handle 5,000 lb. with two-wheel drive and 4,800 lb. when equipped with four-wheel drive.
